IIRC, the decorating of trees goes back to Pagan rituals.
If it made you feel good ... that's great.
I tired a while back of the push to purchase gifts etc. But the true spirit of the holiday is one which requires no gift giving.
I've never been one to participate in holiday group activity. But one year at college, a bunch of us decided to go around the town singing carols in front of houses. It was really magical. We didn't expect much to happen, but people (strangers) opened their doors and were charmed. We were invited into several houses and plied with sweets and shots of alcohol! It was a great lesson in fellowship and the true spirit of giving.
Cheers
